Glenn, from todays WSJ, weekend journal. More Bezos PR but this time it's about sleep in his humble little loft. >>Jeff Bezos is a man to be envied. His Amazon.com has revolutionized online shopping and made him an icon for brash, young Internet entrepreneurs. And, of course, Mr. Bezos, chief executive of the company, is very, very rich. But here's the real sign that he's made it: Mr. Bezos, 35 years old, gets eight hours of sleep a night. A restful, rejuvenating, even luxurious, eight solid hours of sleep a night. "I'm more alert and I think more clearly" as a result, Mr. Bezos says. "I just feel so much better all day long if I've had eight hours." It's official. Sleep, that rare commodity in stressed-out America, is the new status symbol. Once derided as a wimpish failing--the same 1980's overachievers who cried "Lunch is for Losers" also believed "Sleep is for Suckers" - slumber is now being touted as the restorative companion to the creative executive mind.
